Data Privacy Statement

We attach the greatest importance to the protection of your personal data. Therefore, we process your data solely on the basis of the statutory provisions (GDPR, Telecommunications Act 2003). In this data protection notice we provide you with information on the most important aspects of data processing on our website.

Contacting us

Whenever you contact us by using the form on the website or by e-mail, the data you provide is stored for the purposes of processing the enquiry and in case you have any further questions for us. We do not pass on these data without your consent.

Storage of data

We advise you that for the purpose of making the purchasing process easier for you and for the subsequent processing of a contract by the web shop operator, we use cookies to store the subscriber's IP data, as well as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address and credit card number, together with other data provided by the recipient of the invoice.

In addition, the personal data (name, address, date of birth, telephone number, etc.) of the recipient of the services are stored for the purpose of processing the contract. The data already provided by you are required to fulfil the contract and to implement pre-contractual measures. Without these data we are unable to conclude the contract with you. Data are not transferred to third parties, with the exception of the transfer of credit card data to the processing banking institutes/payment service providers for the purpose of withdrawing the purchase price and also to our tax consultant to fulfil our obligations under tax law and to data service providers, who ensure the operation of our database and our IT and newsletter system. We have concluded a contract with these parties for the processing of data in accordance with Art. 28 of the GDPR.

When a purchase process is abandoned, the data stored by us are erased. In the event that a contract is concluded all the data arising from the contractual relationship is stored until the expiry of the retention period required by tax law (7 years).

The data are processed on the basis of the statutory provisions in Section 96(3) Telecommunications Act and Art. 6(1) letter a (consent) and/or letter b (necessary for compliance with a legal obligation) of the GDPR.
